SALSA FRESCA
This quick fresh tomato salsa will always be best when tomatoes are in season. But you can pump up the flavor with a little lime juice if the flavor of your tomatoes is a little dull. Juicy tomatoes will yield a more watery salsa than pulpy roma tomatoes.

Steps:
- Place minced onion in a bowl and cover with cold water. Add vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes or longer. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients and stir in onions. (If your tomatoes are full of flavor, you won't need lime juice.) Ideally, let stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before eating so that flavors will blend and ripen.

Steps:
- Using a manually operated chopper, chop the tomatoes until slightly chunky. Try to avoid getting them too saucy or allowing them to foam up. Place the tomatoes in a bowl. Press or chop the garlic. Place the remaining ingredients in the chopper. Use only the top leafy portion of the cilantro, and remove the seeds from the jalapenos for milder salsa. If it is to hot for your taste, add more tomatoes or just a pinch of sugar.

Stir pico de gallo into chopped/mashed avocadoes to make guacamole (see my recipe #112059), or serve as is with warm tortilla chips and Tex-Mex food (tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos, chiles rellenos).

SALSA FRESCA / SALSA MEXICANA (PICO DE GALLO)
As they make it in Mexico - served freshly made, it's so much better than the jarred stuff! Moderate the heat by adjusting the amount of jalapenos, and by all means, add more cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime. Mas delicioso!

TOMATILLO SALSA FRESCA
A fresh tomatillo salsa that is very easy to make using a blender. I dislike cooked tomatillos for two reasons: they lose their lovely green color and the texture to me is unsatisfactory. The beauty of tomatillo salsa is that it's cheap to prepare and it freezes well. Adapted from 1,000 Vegetarian Recipes.

THE ULTIMATE SALSA FRESCA
Salsa fresca is a generic term for any salsa that isn't cooked. There's no right or wrong way to do it - everyone does their own thing. This recipe is my take on what my mom used to make, but I think it's exceptional. (Pat on back, LOL!) Measurements are loose, but the key is the olive oil and mexican oregano. Prep time includes 15 minutes of standing time.

Steps:
- In a non-reactive bowl, combine first six ingredients.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the minced serrano chiles, a little at a time, tasting for "heat" until you reach the level you can stand.
- Let stand for fifteen minutes to let the flavors meld. A small squeeze of lime juice is also good.
- Refrigerate until ready to use. Will NOT keep overnight.
- NOTE: this is such a versatile salsa. Try it in scrambled eggs, then rolled in a flour tortilla (breakfast burrito). Yum!

- 2. **When I posted this recipe, I forgot to add that sometimes I also add a can of kidney beans drained and rinsed to it. Adding the beans makes this a great vegetarian dish by increasing the protein and fiber.**

SPAGHETTI SQUASH MEXICANA WITH TROPICAL AVOCADO SALSA FRESCA
Steps:
- First, Bake the squash.Preheat oven to 375. Cut squash in half. Scoop out seeds. Place face down on baking sheet with 1 inch of water. Bake for 45 minutes. Flip it over to face up and cook until it is easily to pierce with fork. If it is done you can turn off the oven but leave it in to keep it warm. Prepare salsa by mixing all the ingredients in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Prepare bean mixture by heating a large, heavy bottom skillet over medium-high heat and saute onions and jalepenos in oil for about 5 minutes. Add garlic and coriander seeds and saute for 2 more minutes. Add remaining spices, salt, wine and raise the heat to a boil for 2 minutes, stirring often. Lower heat and add the corn, black beans and hot sauce. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the corn is heated through and the wine has reduced. If the squash is not done by this point, cover the bean mixture. The bean mixture should be hot when served. When the squash is ready and cool enough to handle, shred and scoop out the flesh with a spoon, add to the bean mixture and toss with tongs to separate the strings and mix. Divide among individual plates and top with salsa fresca. Serve immediately.

Mix lightly, handling as little as possible. Shape into 6 patties to fit buns. When grill is ready, brush grill rack with oil. Place patties on the rack and cover. Cook, turning once, until done to preference; about 5-7 minutes per side for medium. Sprinkle cheese on patties during last 3 minutes of grilling.

Add bun tops and serve.
SALSA FRESCA
This recipe was originally submitted by Mean Chef (IHHDRO). I adopted it after he left the site. My comments in my original review stated, "Although I didn't find this recipe here, I have made this salsa for several years. Due to variations of ingredients on hand, I sometimes make changes (and/or additions). However, this is a very good base recipe for fresh salsa. There is no need to change it; but we all like a little variety now and then." I am the designated salsa-maker among my friends, and this recipe never disappoints.

EX-GIRLFRIEND'S MOM'S SALSA FRESCA (PICO DE GALLO)
My ex's mom had the best hand-chopped salsa fresca I have ever tasted back in college. Over the years, I have tweaked it to something my friends and family rave about. The trick for this salsa is marinating the onions and jalapenos in lime juice for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes and cilantro. There are two tricks to this recipe: 1. Hand-chop everything. It takes a while, but it is worth it. 2. The marinating is what makes this salsa special. Hope you enjoy.

PICO DE GALLO (SALSA CRUDA, SALSA FRESCA)
Pico de Gallo translates to "rooster's beak" in English (when you dip tortilla chips into it, your thumb and forefinger loosely resemble a pecking chicken or rooster!)So cute! I LOVE fresh pico de gallo in the summertime for snaking on with white corn chips, or with my favorite Mexican creation! Cool and refreshing with a kick!...
